By means of post-synthetic treatment on the UiO-66 derivative with –SO3H, a novel luminescent hybrid material named Tb3+@UiO-66–SO3H has been prepared simply and efficiently. Given its wonderful luminescence properties like intense green emission, a long lifetime, a robust structure and photostability, it is further developed as a fluorescent probe for the sensing of trans,trans-muconic acid (tt-MA, a biomarker of benzene) and Fe3+, which are closely related to human health. Notably, Tb3+@UiO-66–SO3H shows an outstanding recognition ability for Fe3+ among common cations with a low detection limit (0.11 μM, 0.006 ppm). More importantly, Tb3+@UiO-66–SO3H can realize highly sensitive and selective detection of tt-MA (detection limit, 0.58 μM, 0.083 ppm). Besides, this rapid response probe is facilely prepared, non-toxic and reusable, showing the potential of Tb3+@UiO-66–SO3H in the practical monitoring of tt-MA and Fe3+.

In this study, a simple and convenient method for the determination of trans-resveratrol (TRA) in peanut oils based on pollen grain solid-phase extraction (SPE) was developed. Pollen grains were used as normal-phase SPE sorbent to separate TRA from peanut oils for the first time. As a naturally occurring material, pollen grains exhibited an excellent adsorption capacity for polyphenolic compounds due to their particular functional structures such as hydroxyl groups, saturated and unsaturated aliphatic chains with aromatics. Their stable compositions as well as adequate particle size (30–40 μm) also make them suitable for SPE. Several parameters influencing extraction performance were investigated. Coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV), a green purification method for fast determination of TRA in peanut oils using pollen grain cartridges as sorbents was established. The linearity range of the proposed method was 10–2500 ng·g–1 with a satisfactory correlation coefficient (r2) of 0.9999. The limit of detection (LOD) for TRA in peanut oils was 2.7 ng·g–1, and the recoveries in spiked oil samples were from 70.2% to 98.4% with the relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than 4.9% (intraday) and 5.2% (interday). This method was successfully applied to the analysis of TRA in several peanut oils with different brands from local market as well as other kinds of vegetable oils.

Neofusicoccum parvum is one of the most hazardous pathogens causing mango fruit decay. The present study utilized trans -2-hexenal (TH), a typical antifungal component of plant essential oils (EOs), to control N. parvum both in vivo and in vitro, and attempted to explore the mechanisms involved. The findings showed that at concentrations greater than 0.4 µL/mL, TH exhibited exceptional antifungal activity against N. parvum in vitro. TH application led to the disruption of the structural integrity of both cell walls and cell membranes, with a particular impact on the latter, as evidenced by the dramatically increased propidium iodide level, as well as reduced total lipids and ergosterol content. Further DCFH-DA staining experiments showed that TH induced mycelial reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, which exacerbated cell membrane lipid peroxidation. For easier application of TH, we fabricated aerogel-loaded TH (ALTH) materials, which demonstrated excellent antifungal activity in vitro. Infestation studies on fruits demonstrated that ALTH mitigated mango stem-end rot in a dose-dependent fashion, with a concentration of 40 µL/L showing efficacy comparable to the conventional fungicide prochloraz, while maintaining fruit quality. In light of these results, TH works by inducing ROS buildup and oxidative damage to the cell membrane of N. parvum , and is a particularly promising preservative for preventing postharvest infections in mangoes.

N-trans -feruloyltyramine (FLA) is one kind of phenylpropanoid compound found in various plants. Numerous studies have confirmed that it exhibits a wide range of physiological functions, such as antioxidant, ɑ-glucosidase inhibition, and anti-inflammatory activity. However, the low content of FLA in plants greatly limits its potential use in food and pharmaceutical industries. It is, therefore, very important to establish an effective synthesis of FLA. In this study, a green and efficient method to synthesize FLA was sought using an amide bond synthetase (ABS) biocatalyst. Ten kinds of ABS enzymes, including AlCfaL from Azospirillum lipoferum , were screened as the potential biocatalysts for the production of FLA. To obtain optimum reaction conditions, the effects of various parameters on conversion of FLA were firstly evaluated. Under the optimum conditions using 1 mM N-trans -ferulic acid, 50 mM tyramine (substrate ratio of 1:50), 10 mM MgCl₂, 8 mM ATP, and 35 µM AlCfaL enzyme at 30 °C with a shaking speed of 500 r/min for 48 h, maximum conversion rate of 74% was reached. Given that the amidation reaction is mediated by relative expensive ATP, we further optimized reaction systems to incorporate an ATP recycling system consisting of a polyphosphate kinase enzyme (CHU) and an inexpensive polyphosphate (PolyP) as the phosphate donor. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on five-level, five-variable central composite design (CCD) was used to evaluate the optimal parameters for the production of FLA. The effects of AMP, PolyP, AlCfaL, CHU concentrations, and reaction time on the conversion rate of FLA were analyzed. The optimum conditions derived via RSM were 7.12 mM AMP, 5.96 mg/mL PolyP, 39.72 μM AlCfaL, 27.68 μM CHU, and a reaction time of 36 h. Validation experiments conducted under these optimized conditions yielded an actual conversion rate of 63.5%, which compared well to the maximum predicted value of 64.2%.

Grain commodities in postharvest storage often deteriorate because of fungal and insect attacks. With the green consumption requirements of consumers, ecofriendly and safe pesticides are needed for grain storage. The current study investigated the efficacy of the plant volatile compound trans-2-hexenal against the storage insect pest Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) and three commonly occurring storage fungi, viz., Fusarium graminearum, Aspergillus flavus, and Aspergillus niger, to recommend its application as a botanical fumigant for grain commodities. trans-2-Hexenal weakly repels T. castaneum but has favorable insecticidal activity against multiple developmental stages of T. castaneum, ranging in sensitivity as follows: eggs (LC50 = 14.3 µl/l) > adults (31.6 µl/l) > young larvae (42.1 µl/l) > mature larvae (64.5 µl/l) > pupae (70.5 µl/l). Moreover, trans-2-hexenal caused a high malformation rate and high mortality in adults developed from fumigated pupae. In a 7-d grain, trans-2-hexenal at 0.8 µl/ml provided an appreciable efficacy (81.3%), and concentrations ≥ 0.1 µl/ml completely inhibited the offspring of T. castaneum. trans-2-Hexenal was nonphytotoxic to the seed germination and seedling growth of wheat seeds. Furthermore, trans-2-hexenal completely inhibited the growth of A. flavus, F. graminearum, and A. niger at 5, 10, and 10 µl/l, respectively. The favorable biological activity of trans-2-hexenal against T. castaneum and three frequently occurring mycotoxigenic storage fungi indicated the potential of trans-2-hexenal for simultaneously controlling pests and pathogens, which could reduce its application frequency in grains and decrease pesticide resistance risks.

A preparative chiral high speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) method based on induced circular dichroism (ICD) spectrum was developed to separate trans -δ-viniferin (TVN) enantiomers successfully. The important parameters for the chiral HSCCC separation process, including the type of chiral selector (CS), the concentration of chiral selector and the equilibrium temperature, were optimized using induced circular dichroism spectrum. The final separation procedure was established with a biphasic solvent system composed of n -hexane–ethyl acetate–25 mmol L −1 hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin aqueous solution (5:5:10, v/v/v) in the head-to-tail elution mode at 5 °C. Under optimum chiral HSCCC separation conditions, 8.2 mg of (7 S , 8 S )-TVN ( 1 ) and 9.4 mg of (7 R , 8 R )-TVN ( 2 ) were successfully separated from 20 mg TVN enantiomers with the purity of 99.51% and 99.36%, respectively.

The photo-induced cis-trans isomerization of azobenzene molecules, known for their significant color changes, is extensively utilized in the functional modification of polymeric materials. However, the research on the functionalization of biomass-based polyesters with azobenzene is limited. A key raw material for biomass-based coatings possess reactive double bonds and excellent film-forming capabilities, offering significant advantages for azobenzene functionalization in biomass-based polyester applications. In this study, AESO served as the polyester matrix and acrylate azobenzene derivatives as the functional molecules. Under ultraviolet radiation, AESO underwent a carbon–carbon crosslinking reaction with the azobenzene derivatives to synthesize a novel resin. The coating of this resin on a PET substrate exhibited excellent pencil hardness (3B), adhesion (5B), and solvent resistance. By alternating exposure to ultraviolet and blue light, the coating displayed reversible switching between cis and trans isomers, enabling reversible writing and erasing of patterns. Even after 20 cycles of writing and erasing, high-resolution patterns could still be observed (clearly visible under a 12x microscope). Furthermore, the image could be retained for up to 2 h under sunlight irradiation. This study presents a new method for functionalizing biobased polyesters.

The unanticipated inhibitory effect of trans -resveratrol ( trans -Res) on the formation of trans fatty acids (TFAs) by thermal isomerization of peanut oil (PO) and its mechanism were investigated by experiment and density functional theory. Results showed that trans -Res inhibited the amount and formation rate of TFAs. t rans -Res first inhibited the formation of C18:2, then C18:1, by the mechanism of proton transfer isomerism. The most active reaction site of trans -Res (4′-OH free radical) preferentially combined with the OOL-L-C11• (di-allyl) and then with OOL-O-C11• (mono-allyl) allyl groups in PO, resulting in the higher reaction energy barrier of speed control steps in OOL-L (transition state 1) and OOL-O (transition state 2), and the lower reaction rate of OOL-L and OOL-O (both decreased by 1–10 3 times), to reduce the formation of TFAs. Our study provided a theoretical foundation for the precise regulation of natural hydroxy compound to TFAs in oil.

The present study was designed to analyze the metabolites of all- trans -retinal (atRal) and compare the cytotoxicity of atRal versus its derivative all- trans -retinoic acid (atRA) in human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. We confirmed that atRA was produced in normal pig neural retina and RPE. The amount of all- trans -retinol (atROL) converted from atRal was about 2.7 times that of atRal-derived atRA after incubating RPE cells with 10 μmol/L atRal for 24 h, whereas atRA in medium supernatant is more plentiful (91 vs. 29 pmol/mL), suggesting that atRA conversion facilitates elimination of excess atRal in the retina. Moreover, we found that mRNA expression of retinoic acid - specific hydroxylase CYP26b1 was dose-dependently up-regulated by atRal exposure in RPE cells, indicating that atRA inactivation may be also initiated in atRal-accumulated RPE cells. Our data show that atRA-caused viability inhibition was evidently reduced compared with the equal concentration of its precursor atRal. Excess accumulation of atRal provoked intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction, heme oxygenase-1 ( HO-1 ) expression, and increased cleaved poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) expression in RPE cells. In contrast, comparable dosage of atRA-induced oxidative stress was much weaker, and it could not activate apoptosis in RPE cells. These results suggest that atRA generation is an antidotal metabolism pathway for atRal in the retina. Moreover, we found that in the eyes of ABCA4 −/− RDH8 −/− mice, a mouse model with atRal accumulation in the retina, the atRA content was almost the same as that in the wild type. It is possible that atRal accumulation simultaneously and equally promotes atRA synthesis and clearance in eyes of ABCA4 −/− RDH8 −/− mice, thus inhibiting the further increase of atRA in the retina. Our present study provides further insights into atRal clearance in the retina.

Effective clearance of all- trans -retinal (atRAL) from retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells is important for avoiding its cytotoxicity. However, the metabolism of atRAL in RPE cells is poorly clarified. The present study was designed to analyze metabolic products of atRAL and to compare the cytotoxicity of atRAL versus its derivative all- trans -retinal dimer (atRAL-dimer) in human RPE cells. We found that all- trans -retinol (atROL) and a mixture of atRAL condensation metabolites including atRAL-dimer and A2E were generated after incubating RPE cells with atRAL for 6 h, and the amount of atRAL-dimer was significantly higher than that of A2E. In the eyes of Rdh8 −/− Abca4 −/− mice, a mouse model with defects in retinoid cycle that displays some symbolic characteristics of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the level of atRAL-dimer was increased compared to wild-type mice, and was even much greater than that of A2E & isomers. The cytotoxicity of atRAL-dimer was reduced compared with its precursor atRAL. The latter could provoke intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction, increase the mRNA expression of several oxidative stress related genes ( Nrf2 , HO-1, and γ-GCSh ), and induce ΔΨ m loss in RPE cells. By contrast, the abilities of atRAL-dimer to induce intracellular ROS and oxidative stress were much weaker versus that of concentration-matched atRAL, and atRAL-dimer exhibited no toxic effect on mitochondrial function at higher concentrations. In conclusion, the formation of atRAL-dimer during atRAL metabolic process ameliorates the cytotoxicity of atRAL by reducing oxidative stress.

The study aimed to determine the chemical structures of octadecatrienoic acid isomers produced by probiotics through the bioconversion of α-linolenic acid and to assess their antioxidant capacities. The chemical structures were identified using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS), while the antioxidant capacities were evaluated in vitro and in cellular. The NMR signals obtained allowed for definitive characterization, with the main ion fragments detected being m / z 58.0062, 59.0140, 71.0141, 113.0616, 127.0777, and 181.5833. Compounds at concentrations below 40 μM maintained the antioxidant capacity of HepG2 cells by protecting endogenous antioxidative enzymes and mitochondrial membrane potential. However, doses higher than 40 μM increase oxidative damage and mitochondrial dysfunction. These results confirmed the structure of the probiotic-derived compound as trans9, trans11, cis15-conjugated linolenic acid. Additionally, appropriate doses of CLNA can alleviate oxidative stress induced by AAPH, while high doses aggravate cellular damage. These findings provide foundational information for the further exploration of probiotic-derived edible lipids.

Abstract To obtain aromatic polyamides with reduced dielectric constant, a series of aromatic polyamide copolymers derived from the reaction between m -phenylenediamine to trans -1,2-cyclohexanediamine and isophthaloyl chloride were synthesized using the low-temperature solution polymerization in the presence of 2-methylpyridine. The influence of the content of trans -1,2-cyclohexanediamine on the structure and properties of aromatic copolyamides was evaluated. With increasing the content of trans -1,2-cyclohexanediamine, the inherent viscosities of copolymers decrease from 1.95 to 1.14 dL/g. The copolymer with 25 mol % of trans -1,2-cyclohexanediamine has a reduced dielectric constant ε r of 4.61 at 1 MHz, which is 26% lower than homopolyamide. Meanwhile, as-synthesized aromatic polyamides and copolyamides show good thermal stability and mechanical properties.
